Dude, I think your attempt to earn money on advertising is too much for a pleasant viewing of your blog.

You've spent too much time on thinking ways to earn money from your blog but not much time on writing. Your entries are either of a few sentences, screen shots of what others sent to you, or writing something which doesn't have a stand except when you try to convince others the comments on the blog are not your personal opinions.

It feels strange to help someone to get rich when he is not putting much efforts but depending on others efforts to keep going.

In case anti-xx readers point their guns to me, I don't like xx at all and yet what xlx is doing isn't very pleasing either.

I hate to know each time I visit your blog, I'm helping you to get rich. Even leaving comments here are ways to help you get rich too.

Do something, dude. Put in effort of your own, dude. Prove that every dollar you are getting is worth it?

Last post under the "other identity" here as I dislike having a link to some stupid sites and help you get clicks.

Isn't it a good thing that XX is sensible and tactful enough to practice self-censorship?

It's good if you can do some learning on online marketing and advertising before you said this.

Banglah vs Bangladeshi

She claims that the former is NOT derogatory and that is the shortened version of the later. Talk about racism, when many people on the internet have been correcting her use of language.

Also, she claims that police also use the word banglah, therefore, it is ok.

Self-censorship? This is how she works:

- Create a controversy, so people will flood her page with comments and up her page views.
- Leave her own comments, or a new entry lambasting her critics for being stupid, and for blowing things out of proportion (which isn't the case).
- Edit her previous entry to make point two look true. And then whine about being misunderstood to gain sympathy.

That's how she runs her blog. If it were self-censorship she'd double-check her entries before putting them up in the first place.

sandra can u read the images?

She is really an over-aged teen.

simplesandra:

I am quite sure XX does not do write abt such stuff for the publicity and attention. One can tell from the tone of her words that she really feels strongly, and passionately abt the issue, either bcos she witnessed it or it's her personal experience. And it IS her personal experience of being molested by banglas when she was a student. So her anger is perfectly understandable.

It is NOT a carefully and coldly crafted publicity stunt like so many of you have been quick to insinuate.

Trixyy said...

This is out of point here.
But seriously, how is her story of the "vagina insertion" possible??

Isn't it too far-fetched? It sounds a tad bit toooo.. attention seeking if you ask me.

Peter said...

XLX, your peseverance truly impresses me. I have not been reading that many blogs lately. I come back here only to see yet another controversy and you with your thumb on it. Good work. We need more conscientious people like you around.

Anonymous said...

how're you doing xlx, or should i say "money-face"? you knw what? you're literally just a nobody trying to find face in the world of blogging, at the top of your game, out of your mind half of the time with too little things to think about.

how does it feel to dig out the dirt from the blogosphere's backyard and earning money from this? or chasing the tail of ever-so-controversial xx?

getting booted from your journalist job? or planning to buy a new car?

oh btw, you knw the similarity bet. u and xx? both of you are quick to jump on a controversial topic, bringing traffic to your doorstep and making pple drop some pennies for you to pick up.

excellent. just excellent. enjoy yourself darling.

Nakorius said...

I am having problems viewing the pictures and I am using Explorer.

Anyone else having similar problems?

Firefox does not seem to help either.

I, for all times, have never been surprised that Miss Wendy will believe in things that others find it too amusing to believe.

Is it my computer being infected by spyware or is this blog coincidentally pop up ad windows when I post my comment?

Them how would you explain her entries about ex-convicts and animal rights? Can't she make any simple observation without stirring up a controversy?

Like I said somewhere else, she might be thick, but she's not so dumb as not to realise the backlash she gets for writing like this.

Unknown said...

I don't think leaving sweeping and offending entries and later editing them can be hardly called responsible. So what if she feels strongly about what she thinks? The damage has been done the moment she posts her entry and that people have read it. So if she feels "strongly" about genocide she has every right to post it? Looking at so many people agreeing with what she says, it seems like the people who read and leave comments there are like impressionable people who don't really look deep into her arguments and see the flaws. People who know better don't even bother leaving comments there anymore I think, knowing she'd delete them straight away. If she's so certain about her "causes", why is she editing her entries? Lumping criterias as discrimination is ridiculous and hypocritcal coming from her, when she herself seems to want to belong to a club "hot female bloggers" (and I don't see how she can fit the criteria either).

Now xiaxue is talking about child sex.

She is really trying too hard... really....

Someone should really make an effort to keep her entries screenshots and forward it to the relevant authorities... My printscreen button is not working.. anyone please do it? She won't be so lucky all the time..

lol..it's fun to see you all losers getting so worked up over a 21 year old girl :D

Nakorius said...

Hi XLX,

I am still unable to see your pictures.

But do drop by my place to see if it is what I think it is.

Cheers!

blinkingidiot and xiasuay... both of them are beyond redemption. they are pretty sorry asses. one is an old self-important, insecure attention-getting loser while the one is an short insecure idiot with a bigmouth...

How does she get away with such racist and idiotic remarks. I thought the Singapore govt. keeps a tight reign on things like that. Who is she sleeping with???Geeez

Anonymous said...

i have taken screen shots of XX blog entries and there have been instances where she says "f**king foreign workers", "What the f**k are they allowed in Orchard road" "they should be banned"

Bear in mind her blog is read by 50,000 hits a day.

banning of aerosol is just a feeble coverup excuse on her part.

i concur that she writes and then edits her entries after reading comments which are unfavorable to her.
That hardly mimics her "righteous" style of speaking up for what she believes in.

I thought simplesandra's supposed to be XX's friend? Didn't they go to Wala together? Or did I get the wrong person?

Pretty two faced to bitch about and then hang out with a girl you don't like.
